Summer holiday

Dear Ladies,

I've been dating an amazing and fantastic man for the past four months - everything I could ask for with the proper relationship dynamic I desire in a RP mindset.

I'm leaving soon for a two month summer holiday (I'm a teacher). We live abroad in a country where there's essentially nothing to do unless you have work. I suggested I stay for a bit to be with him but he really pushed me to travel to see my family and take my professional development course, especially since I already had the plans before I met him.

He knows I'm a loyal woman and I stay committed to whoever I'm with at the time. But I don't know whether I should ask him if he is planning to do the same for me because that would mean our relationship is going somewhere more long-term (which is preferable to me of course) and I'm afraid to pressure him or sound distrustful by bringing up the discussion. Especially because he's such a high value man I feel like he could have any woman he wanted.

I'm positive I'm not a plate; he's proved to me in so many ways already. And of course I do my part to help him out with his needs.

Any suggestions on how to go about this? Should I wait until he says something? Or just assume he'll stay with me even when I'm gone for that long? Four months is long enough to have a substantial relationship but still short enough to be potentially temporary...!
